That is when it may be time to weigh the benefits of a body contouring procedure from the skilled surgeons of Atlanta Plastic & Reconstructive Specialists. Whether your weight loss was the result of bariatric surgery or you simply had the courage to make a plan and stick to it, it may be time to consider one of these effective body contouring procedures to refine your body profile:
Lower Body Lift
Known as a belt lipectomy, this procedure tightens and reshapes the hips, abdomen, back of the thighs, outer thighs, inner thighs and buttocks. It’s a combination procedure that requires a single operation, which also increases complexity and recovery time.
Thigh Lift
Thighplasty sculpts the thighs by removing excess skin and sometimes pockets of fat, producing a more appealing shape for the upper leg. The experienced surgeons of Atlanta Plastic & Reconstructive Specialists offer several varieties of thigh lift, each focused on a particular target area.
Arm Lifts
Brachioplasty has become increasingly popular. The procedure targets hanging flab in the arms. Arm lift removes excess hanging skin from the underarm and reshapes the under part of the upper arm, from the armpit area to the elbow, allowing you to wear short sleeve fashions once again.
Breast Lift
Breast lift, or mastopexy, may be performed with or without the insertion of implants. When women lose large amounts of weight, the breasts can change in shape, becoming flatter as they experience a degree of sagging. Breast lift is a way to reclaim the youthful, perkier shape you remember.
Tummy Tuck
Abdominoplasty targets the loose skin that remains after substantial weight loss. Depending on your skin’s elasticity, it may be unable to shrink sufficiently to fit snugly over your smaller abdomen. Tummy tuck can also remove some fat, and tighten abdominal muscles that may have weakened or separated during a pregnancy.
